BORN SURVIVORS par Wendy Holden
This book follows the wartime journey of three women who gave birth during internment. Miraculously their children survived the inhuman conditions. I am having a hard time reviewing this book. These three women showed unimaginable courage and determination. However, the book itself was painfully slow. The author assumed the reader knew nothing about WWII, Germany, the Nazi party, or anything surrounding the holocaust. This took away from the women’s stories and their courageous journeys.
I just read this book and I didn't believe a word of it. The octogenarian spy wrote it with the help of another author, [[Wendy Holden]], and it comes across as an adventure story, not a nonfiction account. If it's true, and I have to think it is because I looked at Wikipedia, and she really did win all the honors she says she did, I'm as bad as all the sexist army officers she encountered who didn't believe she was a spy because she was a tiny (94 pound) little blonde girl. I'm not looking at her and still can't believe it. What an amazing life of adventure she lead, and she seemed to get out of all sorts of situations because of her imperious voice. How does that work?… (plus d'informations)
I really liked this book.... I was heartbroken at first when I read about Haatchi's Story but its amazing how Owen brings happiness in his life :)
Exciting, it fills in a lot about the times & details how ground level espionage was (mis) handled. Also good info on French war in Indochina. Read it!
